Hard wax is applied in a thicker layer than soft wax, but also in the direction of hair growth—an important detail. The wax grabs on to the hairs in a shrink-wrapping manner as it hardens rather than sticking to the skin like soft wax.
This makes it more suitable for smaller, more sensitive areas like the lip , nose, underarms, and bikini area. When used on larger areas, like the legs, Shays explains it "can create breakage of hair towards the end of the pull.
Its gentle nature is great for those with sensitive skin but on the flip side, it's not strong enough to grab the hairs from the bulb, meaning you may have to go over a single area multiple times. Be sure to use a quality product when working with hard wax. Like with soft wax, the hair needs to be long enough for the wax to grab.
Cold wax is either taken right out of the pot and applied directly to the skin, or comes prepared on a strip. This method is appealing to many because it eliminates the risk of burning your skin from wax that's too hot. Shays says it's typically not as effective as warm wax and can leave hairs attached to the skin. Many also find cold wax more painful to remove than wax that's heated. Some even find it easier to slightly warm the wax before use to soften the formula for spreading.
Pre waxed strips come with the right amount of cold soft wax already attached and are ready to use, no heating required. This method is the most user-friendly, mess-free option and is recommended for beginners. Cold strips require the least preparation and with less moving parts of the whole operation, this is by far the most convenient option for traveling. As with any cold wax, there is no risk of burning your skin.
Shays suggests using pre-made strips for smaller areas because they aren't spreadable like warm wax. Sugar wax is one of the oldest known waxing methods, originating in the Middle East. It's also one of the most natural and simple formulas, generally consisting of some combination of sugar, lemon, and hot water. Technically a wax or not, there's a reason this hair removal method has been around for centuries. It's extremely gentle—for a wax—so it's ideal for sensitive and reactive skin.
Sugar wax works a lot like hard wax by the way it grabs the hairs without sticking to the skin. This type of formula will allow multiple passes in one area without the irritation a soft wax would cause. Sugar wax can come as a sticky ball to be applied with the fingers or like a soft wax to be used with strips.
Waxing is not easy to perform at home, especially when newbies are trying it. It is a time-consuming process. The idea is to put a layer of liquid wax on the skin, which sticks to the hair strands, cover it with a strip and then pull the wax strip off the skin - this in turn pulls the hair strands out from the roots.
So, the result lasts for weeks. Of course, the pulling off of the hair can be painful, especially in the delicate and sensitive areas. It can also leave the skin feeling irritated. The cost of waxing can be anything between Rs.
The hot and cold wax for at-home uses can cost about Rs. It also helps to have a mess-free hair removal session. Again, like waxing, the result can last for weeks, as the hair is removed from the roots. Plus, you can use it even when the newly growing hair strands are really small. Epilating can be quite painful, as the process of pulling out the hair from the roots happens slowly.
While hair removal creams remain a good depilatory option, the results typically only last for a few days or, at best, one week. Waxing is the longer-lasting option because the results can last up to six weeks, depending on the rate at which your hair grows back. Even though hair removal creams might seem like a fast and cheap option, when you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, professional waxing becomes the best option, despite its inconveniences.
Here are the three reasons why you should choose professional waxing as your primary hair removal method:. Apart from removing your unwanted hair, waxing will also exfoliate your skin.
When you take away the wax from your skin, it removes the dead skin cells and thus leaves a new layer of skin. Your skin will feel so smooth and soft after waxing. Whether you opt to wax with hard or soft wax, it is the best natural hair removal method available today. Unlike hair removal creams that make you hair-free for a few days, waxing lasts longer because it removes the hair from its root.
Waxing pulls out your hair from its follicle, an action that weakens the follicles. Thus, the hair that grows back is weaker. TEdit X Zainab Salman. Prague: A city of immaculate charm. Anxious Pakistani fans in jitters over clash with Australia.
